WINTER SPORTS.
Tobogganing still continues the sport
of all outdoor sports, in Chicago at
least, and the three magnificent public
slides, 700, 1000 and 500 feet in length
respectively, which the city now boasts,
are filled with crowds of brightly cos
tuned tobogganists nightly. TIE
weather still continues cold and favor
able for the full enjoyment of both ice
skating and tobogganing, and it goes
almoet without saying that when the
spring sun does finally melt the SHOWS
of frosty winter, there will be many
throb OF regret arise in young Chicago's
heart. One does not really ENJOY tob
ogganiug unless he goes into it pro
perly clothed and willing to take
plunge into the snow bank, fully con-
scieus that that is just what he has ex-
pected, and IN anticipation of just what
he has attired himself. saw young
man at slide the other evening who
had come out to toboggan in high
collar, an open shirt front and a silk
hat, doeskin breeches, fawn colored
English oVercoat, alligator shoes and-a
cane Upon the first slide he lost his
silk hat, got his trousers legs full of
Clipped ice and snow, pulled sole off
his left boot, cut cash in his neck with
the point of his collar, was fired into a
snowoank at the foot of the slide by q
fellow tobogganist (the beastly fellow
wore tobOggan costume, too,) who
objected to having his eyes prodded out
with withdrawing cane, and then
left, swearing that tobogganing was
hit. pasume Only for wild Indians and
bockwoods Car ucks. A man should as
soon think of going Devastating in a
dress suit, as to go tobOgganing in any
thing but a warm wool blanket suit,
light, but warm, and cut after the regu-
lation toboggan outfit, with moccasins
and wool hose, and the same rule may
apply to ladies. Tobogganists of both
sexes should go dressed for the sport, if
they want to enjoy it.
NOTES.
h reafter all championship and other
priEe-ring fights in England must be
fought in England according to the new
rules of the London prize ring.
The prettiest teboggan costumes seen
in Chicago are a gray suit with red trim
mings for gentlemen, and scarlet !
wool blanket cloak, with tuque, for the
ladies'.
